In the canteen I use they wash plates and crockery. Imagine if that practice came to America.

American here. What is this "washing of plates and crockery" of which you speak?


They also wash the cutlery!

Condiments are also available in recyclable glass containers, including 'HP Sauce'. None of these single portion sachets.

As of yet nobody has died of foot and mouth disease, AIDS, rabies, leprosy or any other ailment known to be communicable via forks that have been previously used.

They could do better though, in post mad cow disease Britain you can't feed the food slops to pigs.

From what strange and wondrous land do you come?


I work in the US and it drives me nuts that at work almost everything they use is disposable. They could easily get a dishwasher. Instead every lunch produces a huge pile of trash.


I work in Chicago and our office of 75 people has 2 dishwashers, 3 refrigerators, 3 microwaves, multiple drawers and cabinets full of plates, drink ware and utensils (including chef's knives and other cutlery).

It's not even hard to maintain.


>including chef's knives and other cutlery).

FedEx doesn't even allow us to have metal butter knives heh, you know being 'weapons' and all.
